Scholarship of Engagement

This page contains resources for faculty and staff to accomplish our strategic goal of "providing service and knowledge that impact our global society" in a scholarly manner. Engagement activities at Purdue University include promoting: economic development; P-12 education; service and experiential learning; quality of life for constituents; and lifelong learning. Most of our activities at the College of Veterinary Medicine have an engagement component.

The "scholarship of engagement" is a concept by which engagement efforts are embraced as scholarly activities, equal to teaching and research. Scholarly engagement efforts are: tied directly to one's area of academic expertise; contribute to the public good; and have demonstrated impact through assessment of outcomes. Assessment should demonstrate the continuum of engagement impact: (1) generation of new knowledge; (2) change in behavior or practice as a result of that knowledge; and (3) how the change in behavior or practice impacts the public good. One role of the Office of Engagement is to promote such scholarship by:

providing links to resources on the scholarship of engagement

providing notification of opportunities to speak at and to attend engagement conferences

assisting with documentation of engagement efforts for promotion and tenure purposes
